“I really changed my life a lot…I was doing all the bad things…drinking, smoking cigarettes…I felt if I could do it, anyone could do it! You are never too old, too overweight…” 

-Hilary Topper, Author of From Couch Potato to Endurance Athlete: A Portrait of a Non-Athletic Triathlete.

What does it mean to be an athlete? For author Hilary Topper who never considered herself an athlete, turning 48 was the beginning of an adventure she never could have predicted. Today we welcome Hilary to the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast from her home in Long Island to share her journey from “couch potato” to endurance athlete. After realizing she had to make a change in her unhealthy lifestyle, Hilary is here to discuss how she went about hiring a trainer, finding some accountability partners, joining some training groups, and embracing her new life. Hilary also dispels the myths surrounding the ability to be an “endurance athlete,” even if you have never competed in sports before. Now, she is using her experiences to inspire others that “anyone can do it” through her book, From Couch Potato to Endurance Athlete: A Portrait of a Non-Athletic Triathlete. Learn more about Hilary, grab the book, or read her very witty and inspiring blogs by heading to her Instagram page and Linktree @hilarytopper.

Reena Vokoun - CEO of Passion Fit - Episode 301

Episode 301 - Reena Vokoun - CEO of Passion Fit

“I am a recovering perfectionist…striving for personal and professional success.”

“There comes a point where you have to slow down…we burn ourselves out...it took me two years to have the courage to walk away…it was hard.”

“Pursue your passions. Be fit and the rest will follow.”

Without your health and well-being, you have nothing! That’s right! Maybe you have heard this adage before, but today, the amazing Reena Volkoun is going to ignite the fire inside of you to make positive lasting changes in your life. As a perfectionist with an insurmountable drive for success, Reena worked for many years in Silicon Valley for major companies such as Google and Reebok. However, soon after getting married and starting a family, Reena realized that being a “hands-on mom and a big career” was not possible. Does this sound familiar? Listen closely as Reena reveals how she was able to gather the courage to quit her job and dive head-first into her passion for improving mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

Fit Crazie 2023 BOSTON MARATHON Rundown! - Episode 299

Episode 299 – Fit Crazie 2023 BOSTON MARATHON Rundown!

There is nothing better than being in the city of Boston on Patriot’s Day! For those non-runners out there, this is also known as “MARATHON MONDAY,” the day that 30,000+ hopeful runners toe the start line in Hopkinton, 26.2 miles away from the finish line! If you are tuning in today, Christine and Brian recount their experiences racing one of the greatest yet most grueling courses in the world. Find out Brian’s secrets to crushing this iconic marathon and run a sub three-hour race. Then, listen up as Christine talks about why you need to run on behalf of a charity (like the Alzheimer’s Association that she runs with each year), how you don’t need to complete long training runs, how you can take bathroom breaks, and most importantly, you can run fast times and feel good! If you want to hear the ins and outs of the Boston Marathon course from those who know and love it best, this episode is for you! Expect to laugh and learn a thing or two from the “fit crazies!”

Keep Chasing Unicorns!

Episode 292 - Debbie Bellenger - Consultant/Educator/Presenter/Wellness Advocate/Program Developer

“I ground myself in my desire to help people…My greatest attribute is my heart.”

“…redefine the role of a fitness professional to a wellness professional…we are the solution…”

Welcome to yet another EPIC episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast with special guest and fitness icon, Debbie Bellenger! This Ontario native relocated to the United States in the 90’s and spent the last few decades working in various cities researching and collaborating with medical professionals while serving as a health and wellness director for health clubs, gyms, hospitals, medical fitness facilities and corporations. Today, Debbie is here to open the dialogue about the importance of shifting the role of the “fitness professional to a wellness professional.” After decades of experience in the fitness industry developing wellness programs alongside physicians, orthopedics, and dieticians, Debbie believes the fitness industry is “missing the mark.” Listen closely as she explains why there is a dire need for qualified and passionate wellness professionals, and how it is up to us to rise to the occasion. This episode might just be the “call to action” that you have been waiting for! 

Stay Fit! Stay Crazie!
